Early Direct Deposit Leaderboard
Community-reported early direct deposit timing by financial institution.
Deposit timing can depend on when an employer, benefits agency, or payroll provider sends the payment file. A bank's past timing does not guarantee future availability.
Rankings mix every deposit type reported (paychecks, government benefits, tax refunds, pensions, and gig-platform payouts) since paycheck-specific timing isn't yet broken out separately.
Ranked institutions
Requires at least 5 distinct reporters to appear.
No institution has 5 or more distinct community reports yet, so nothing meets the bar for a credible ranking.

Methodology
- Only signed-in, attributable reports count, and only each reporter's newest report per institution — repeat submissions from one person never inflate a count.
- An institution needs at least 5 distinct reporters to be ranked; 2-4 reporters appear in the unranked "Early evidence" section instead.
- The headline number is the typical (median) reported value, not a raw average — a report of "more than 5 days early" is a censored value, not literally six days, so it's never averaged in as an exact number. When the typical value would fall on or need to cross that censored bucket, it's shown as "more than 5 days early" rather than an invented number.
- Ties are broken, in order, by: the share of an institution's reports at or above its typical value, then by sample size, then alphabetically by name.
- Evidence labels reflect sample size only, not certainty: Emerging evidence (5-9 reporters), Moderate evidence (10-24), Strong evidence (25+).
- Inactive institutions never appear here, even with qualifying historical evidence — their evidence remains visible on their own profile page.
- No recency weighting is applied — every qualifying report counts equally regardless of age. The latest report date is shown instead, and evidence with no report in the last 180 days is marked stale.
